Only nine foals is a very small number to judge breeding ability from. And two blues from nine is actually really good. While a one percent boost would slightly increase your chances of 2G blues I don't think you would see a giant difference.

Another question! Should I keep both red and blue gen 2? And if so should I use an A gen 2? Or a B?

I agree with FallenShadows. That's what I would do.

@InTheStars the people above have given you some good advice if your goal is to increase the quality of your line quickly while sacrificing quantity. Breeding all exceptional quality foundations (Red and B) with full pasture bonus I still probably only get a 10-15% A/Blue rate of gen 2 offspring, but get probably a 60% SBA pass rate. That means I’m snipping a LOT of perfectly good breeders. I have more breeding stock than I really need, so I don’t mind that. But if you are working to make up full pastures, or if you don’t have room to make sure all your mares always have full pasture bonus, you may find it simpler to have more modest goals for increase in quality and not frustrate yourself with low #s of fillies to breed, especially if you are going to cull hard on color/pattern.

You can always ramp up your quality requirements later when you have more breeders than you need.

Remember, there is no right or wrong way to breed in this game. If it is seeming like work, or it’s just frustrating, then maybe take a step back and reevaluate.

Not saying don’t take their advice, just saying think about the best way to use your resources and time so you have fun!
